Big fish, but I have my doubts about 36 lbs!!  He didn't even hold it up for a sec.  But yeah nice fish, made even more colorful by all the red on it!! ;D

Oh yeah, that was on the fly!!  You know the world record for a steely is just over 42 lbs right?  So 36 seems a bit big.  I could hold a measuring tape up to a fish at a distance not show you and say it was 108cm as well, doesn't mean I am telling the truth!! ;D ;D  We are fisherman man, that leaves a bit of room for error!! ;D

Background music is also a bit cheesy.  Sounds like a dodgy European low-budget porn film.

i'm with you Bill
and i'd say it's over 30, but who cares, nice fish regardless. True, the kispiox fish are a marvel. Haven't fished that one yet... maybe next year. The Maurice has some awesome fish as well, and a few others up that way. Rivers like our northern ones make the vedder look like childsplay. Not to knock our lower mainland steelhead, because they are a true prize as well but pound for pound, they just don't hold a candle to the fish we have hooked on the copper, the maurice ect.

Closer to 20 than 30 lbs. is my guess.

Sure looked like it was half dead and after the way it was dogged for so long it probably is.
